I do not think it is fair to ascribe to the notion that since you cannot prevent all crime you should not try to prevent any. I also think legislating where people read books is not the same as legislating how and where people can have or use high capacity magazines. I also believe the NRA would be there to challenge in court unreasonable reductions in magazine capacity.
I don't have terribly strong feelings one way or the other on guns. while i don't use them i can see why others do. I guess what I have learned tonight, in the end, is there may not be a rational middle ground...most who do have a stake in these laws would either like very few restrictions or as many as possible. I enjoyed the discussion.
